A survey was made to find the extent of intestinal parasite infection in Kampongcham, Cambodia February 2002. total 251 fecal specimens were collected from Tonlebat primary school children and examined by formalin-ether sedimentation technique. The overall rate 54.2% (males, 57.3%; females, 50.8%). helminths species as follows: Ascaris lumbricoides 26.3%, Echinostoma sp. 15.6%, hookworm 6.4%, Opisthorchis 4.0%, Rhabditis 2.4%, Trichuris trichiura 0.4%. protozoa E. coli 7.6%, G. lamblia 3.2%,...
Vitamin C (VC) is an important antioxidant and enzyme co-factor that works by stimulating the immune system protecting against infections. It well known melanoma cells are more susceptible to VC than any other tumor cells. However, role of in treatment colon cancer has not been studied. Cisplatin (CDDP) a DNA damaging agent widely used for treating cancer, while p53 CDDP-induced cell death stressed. Using growth assays, morphological methods, Western blotting, flow cytometry, fragmentation...
Induction of vascular hyperpermeability is one the early responses to radiation exposure and considered contribute subsequent fibrosis tissue injuries. However, mechanism underlying radiation-induced has not yet been clearly elucidated. Here, we provide experimental evidence indicating that mast cells increase in permeability for albumin normal mouse skin after irradiation. Vascular C3H mice increased 2, 15 50 Gy irradiation, peaked at 24 h irradiation gradually decreased thereafter baseline...
Ethanol consumption disturbs the balance between pro- and anti-oxidant systems of organism, leading to oxidative stress. Electrolyzed-reduced water (ERW) is widely used by people in East Asia for drinking purposes because its therapeutic properties including scavenging effect reactive oxygen species. This study was performed investigate ERW on acute ethanol-induced hangovers Sprague-Dawley rats. Alcohol concentration serum ERW-treated rats showed significant difference at 1 h, 3 h 5...
Strong acidic electrolyzed water (StAEW) is known to inactivate microorganisms but not fully explored in the medical field. This study aimed at exploring StAEW as a potential wound care agent and its mechanism. (pH: 2.65, ORP: 1159 mV, ACC: 32.1 ppm) was sprayed three times day cutaneous wounds of hairless mice for seven days. Wound morphological histological features immune-redox markers were compared with saline- (Sal-) alcohol- (Alc-) treated groups. Results showed that group...
Electrolyzed reduced water (ERW), functional water, has various beneficial effects via antioxidant mechanism in vivo and vitro. However there is no study about of ERW bathing. This aimed to determine the effect bathing on UVB-induced skin injury hairless mice. For this purpose, mice were irradiated with UVB cause injury, followed by individually taken a bath (ERW-bathing) tap (TW-bathing) for 21 d. We examined cytokines profile acute period, histological ultrastructural observation chronic...
Gangweon-do is known to be highly endemic area of sparganosis more than other provinces in Korea. A seroepidmiologic examination for the detection anti-Spirometra erinacei plerocercoid IgG serum was carried out normal inhabitants Hongcheon-gun, Gangweon-do. Sere were tested by enzyme-linked immunosrobent assay (ELISA) anti-sparganum antibodies. Positive rate antibody 719 adults 3.3%. Data questionnaire 24 ELISA positive revealed that 20 had a history eating raw meat snakes, frogs, and...
Electrolyzed reduced water (ERW) is widely used for drinking by people in Asia. The purpose of this study was to examine the immunological effect ERW on immunity animals supplying C57BL/6 mice infected with Echinostoma hortense metacercariae. In non-infected groups, interleukin (IL)-4 (p < 0.001), IL-5, IL-10, IL-1beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and immunoglobulin (Ig) A expression group fed (ERW group) increased small intestine compared normal control group. case (ERW+E. showed...
Bambusae caulis in Liquamen (BCL), traditional herbal medicine used East Asia, is known to have antioxidative and immune-regulating properties. We hypothesized that the potential antioxidant effects of BCL might suppress production thymus activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) macrophage-derived (MDC) human keratinocytes (HaCaT cell). The effect was demonstrated by capacity using DPPH analysis DCFH-DA analysis. found had strong ROS scavenge HaCaT cell. also showed suppression IFN-γ-induced...
Convincing evidence indicates that statins stimulate apoptotic cell death in several types of proliferating tumor cells a cholesterol-lowering-independent manner. However, the relationship between apoptosis and autophagy lymphoma exposed to remains unclear. The objective this study was elucidate potential involvement fluvastatin-induced cells. We found fluvastatin treatment enhanced activation pro-apoptotic members such as caspase-3 Bax, but suppressed anti-apoptotic molecule Bcl-2 including...
Abstract Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic allergic inflammatory skin disease characterized by complex pathogenesis including barrier dysfunction, immune-redox disturbances, and pruritus. Prolonged topical treatment with medications such as corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, T-cell inhibitors may have some potential side-effects. To this end, many researchers explored numerous alternative therapies using natural products mineral compounds antioxidant or immunomodulatory...
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects Spirodelae Herba pharmacopuncture(SHP) on adipogenesis in 3T3 cells, lipolysis rat epididymal adipocytes and histological changes porcine adipose tissue. Methods Inhibition preadipocyte differentiation and/or stimulation play important roles reducing obesity. preadipocytes were differentiated with adipogenic reagents by incubating for 3 days absence or presence SHP ranging from 0.01 . effect was examined measuring...
